When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

#BREAKING | Israel is preventing the entry of essential baby supplies to Gaza, per UNICEF
A total of 938,000 ready-to-use infant formula bottles have been held back since last August which means nearly one million bottles of milk that could reach children suffering remain blocked.

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Had a breast exam today. After being contorted & smushed into a glass shield, then gracelessly crushed w/ a vice, the tech asked if I was okay. I said my neck was stiff. She replied, “And you’re only 50. I put 80-year olds in this thing.” My one thought: No way this device was designed by women.

Screw it, the BBC should go back to an older model reach out to its commonwealth sister corporations the ABC here in Australia and the CBC in Canada to fund/create #DoctorWho.
I’d be happy with some of my tax money going towards it, and for the ABC to get the Australian distribution rights again.

No surprises this backward collection of red-necks drags their council to court on their ratepayers' money to oppose a wind farm - and even then can't get their legal arguments right

Tamworth Council went to court to try and stop a wind farm. It didn’t go well. Tamworth Council argued that the wind turbines would be too big for local roads. The judge pointed out there is no approval needed to drive on a public road reneweconomy.com.au/youve-got-to...

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

![On 19 March 2013, Laws interviewed a female listener, who described a history of sexual abuse between the ages of six and sixteen. 33) Laws proceeded to ask the woman if the abuse was in some way her fault and whether she had been provocative. 34) The following day Laws said on air that women who dressed provocatively were once viewed as "rape bait". 35)
In 2015, Laws referred to a male victim of child sexual assault as a "wet blanket" and told him to
"brighten up". [36]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a7gyr7nem6y3uxumh5kf5sox/bafkreiet3vqtknyea4b7mbmk6owjtsy36vc4n4o7a2pcmihvgue23wxumq@jpeg)
